KFC confirms sponsorship for November circuit races
The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) in a release have noted that fast food giant, KFC is a confirmed sponsor for the biggest event in motor racing locally; the annual International Race Meet.
The event which formerly served as the final leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) that appears to be done and dusted will now provide a unique opportunity for Guyana to build on the success of previously hosted events here and host a stand-a-lone championship.
The GMR&SC noted that, “Motor racing in Guyana continues to grow from strength to strength and partnerships such as these with KFC are vital for the continued growth of motor sport in Guyana.”
Full fields of SR3 radicals are expected for the November 16-17 event at the South Dakota Circuit, Timehri and the club has noted that much work will be put into track preparation to ensure a smooth surface for the machines which are expected from Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago.
Last November, in his radical car, Calvin Ming had bettered the lap record held by Matthew Truelove (bike) of Team Mohamed’s, which stood at 33.3s with a blazing 33.121s. The 33.121s time may be under threat this year with a packed grid in the radicals anticipated.
In addition, a full field of machines are expected for the local Choke Starlet Cup, Miracle Optical Street and Prem’s Electrical Sports Tuner classes along with groups 2, 3 and 4. The championship winners of the Choke Starlet Cup, Miracle Optical Street Tuner and Prem’s Electrical Sports Tuner are set to pocket $500,000 each.
Meanwhile, the fourth and final round of the drag racing championship, dubbed ‘1320 Heat Rematch’ concludes on October 20th at the South Dakota Circuit’s Drag Strip.
KFC’s General Manager Paul Subryan hands over his company’s sponsorship cheque to GMRS&SC secretary, Cheryl Gonsalves.
